Matt Bunk joined the Cap Times in December 2007 after leaving the financially challenged East Valley Tribune. His exodus comes just two months after the departure of his assistant, Bill Bertolino (also a former Tribber) who was hired on at the Guardian in late November.

If Guardian scribe Dennis Welch knows why Bunk left, he didn't mention it in his article today. But Welch points out that Bunk is leaving just as the State Legislature goes back in session.
